What are the supplements MOST people should be taking for these infections? I know everyone is different and the list of things to take can be endless but which ones are universally "required"?

My doctor told me to take:

Multivitamin
Vitamin C
Curcumin
Magnesium
Probiotics(if on antibiotics)


What else is highly recommended? I'm trying to minimize my spending but still take the core supplements that support healing.

Is milk thistle good for detox?

If I take 23andme and upload the data to yaskos site or nutrahacker, will it tell me what I should supplement for?

For Candida and gut:
Interfase plus
A.D.P (oregano oil)
1-2 tablespoon of apple cider vinegar in hot/warm water
Coconut oil
Refrigerated probiotics

Detox:
B complex in its active forms
My doc recommends Tri-fortffy orange but i don't see a major difference with it and it costs like $97
My doc also recommends Alka seltzer gold dissolved in water with lemon juice
Epsom Salt bath with hydrogen peroxide (and maybe baking soda)- this works, just make sure water is hot and soak for about 15-20mins
Infrared Sauna- similar to epsom salt bath
Hot/warm water with lemon

For babesia and parasites:
Artemsinin SOD

You mentioned probiotics when on antibiotics - it's a good idea to take them even when not on antibiotics - even when doing herbal treatments...or no treatments.

With my LLMD's support, I've been following Dr. B's supplement recommendations that start on page 27 here:

I ditto Girlie in regards to probiotics. Most of our immune system is in our gut.

I've read that even one dose of an antibiotic taken during someone's lifetime can wipe out the good bacteria in the gut.

My LLND has me on a probiotic because herbs also destroy the good bacteria in your gut just like antibiotics but not to the same degree. Herbs are known to be more gentle.

She also has me on weekly B12 injections to repair the myelin that the bugs have chewed away. I'm on this esp for my off balance feeling, mood and energy level.

She has me on a Vitamin Nutritional Supplement to support and boost my immune system which I think is an important one.

She also has just started me on fish oil omega 3.

In the fall she said I will need to take something for vitamin D - I'm getting enough of it right now in the sun during the summer months - but it is important to keep levels up once the summer is over.

I think all these things I mentioned are important. Something you can look in to and decide for yourself!
